I am new in the world of the staight razor shaving, my dad 81 years old gave me a pax-labor in very good shape, and for sure the straight razor shaving will become my new spa therapy, it's really funny to discover something new about shaving at the age of 49
How great. Welcome. Great resource here hope you enjoy as much as I do...
Welcome to SRP and love Montreal! Great city and love Stash Cafe in the old town.
Bienvenue!
Welcome. There seems to be quite a pack out in Montreal. I think it might be a good plan to learn with something other than an heirloom piece. Perhaps you could pick up a nice inexpensive starter that is shave ready from the classifieds.
Welcome to the forum. You are never too old to learn new tricks. I started SR shaving even later than you. Read all you can in the forum library and be sure and ask questions.

Do not hesitate to contact me if you need a few tips.
Welcome to the forum!
I would heed the advice on getting a shave ready razor and getting your current razor honed by a pro. Probably best to get the services on your side of the border, heard some complaints of postage being really high. I would use a new razor to learn with. Many beginners hit the faucet, drop it, mess up on stropping or anything else that might be detrimental to the razor (speaking from experience here). Hands on teaching will also reduce the learning cure dramatically.
Hi and welcome. Would echo getting a second razor to start with. My first had a good few dings before I got it together. Not how to treat a heirloom. Good luck and any questions feel free to ask
